Research and Testing of Household Chemicals
Household chemicals, like cosmetic products, are an essential part of our everyday life. For this reason, their effectiveness, safety, and quality are of key importance. At J. S. Hamilton, we meet the high expectations of manufacturers by offering a comprehensive range of tests to confirm the functional properties, effectiveness, and safety of household chemical products.
Our laboratory provides a wide range of usability and performance tests for household chemicals. Through the subjective evaluation of volunteers, we assess whether the product meets expected requirements and promised effects under real conditions of use.
In addition to individual tests, we also conduct comparative studies, in which the tested product is evaluated against selected competing products, allowing an objective assessment of its competitive advantage.
Efficacy studies
In addition to tests involving volunteers, we also conduct laboratory efficacy studies in a modern and specialized laboratory under standardized and strictly controlled conditions.
We offer research in the following areas:
- organoleptic evaluation (odor, appearance, texture, user experience),
- assessment of stain removal efficiency.
Dermatological tests
As with cosmetic products, dermatological testing can also be performed for household chemicals to assess potential irritant or allergic effects on the skin. After successful testing, the product may be labeled as “dermatologically tested”.
For household chemicals, we most commonly perform:
- dermatological patch test
- T-shirt test
Physical-chemical tests
In our laboratories, we perform a wide range of physical-chemical analyses of household chemicals to evaluate their composition, stability, and performance. The most common tests include:
- determination of dry organic matter,
- assessment of foaming capacity,
- determination of pH value,
- determination of density,
- determination of chloride content,
- determination of anionic and cationic surfactants.
Preparation of Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
For household chemical products, we also provide preparation of Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), which are key documents for product identification within the supply chain and for ensuring regulatory compliance.
Safety data sheets are prepared by qualified safety assessment experts with extensive experience in the field of household chemicals, ensuring professional accuracy and compliance with applicable regulations.
Due to the wide range and diversity of household chemical products, we invite you to contact us for an individual consultation regarding the specifications of your product.
